Welcome to TLP! We're so glad you're joining us for our Storytellers event. Tell us a little bit about yourself and what brought you to digital scrapbooking. :)

I'm Laura. Married for 18 years to my very favorite guy, mom to 2 girls and 2 fur babies. I like memory-keeping, reading, traveling, anything crafty and caffeine. LOL I starting scrapping about 16 years ago when my oldest daughter was born...and switched to digi in 2005.
 
I'll call myself new-ish to TLP (but not to digi-scrapping). :) I'm Suzy, wife to my sweetheart for 8 years and mom to one boy and one girl. I love playing with color in scrapbooking and gardening. I also love to read & write. I started scrapbooking as a teenager & went digital in 2007. I've dabbled in pocket style but still love digi.
 
I think I'm new-ish. My name is Grace, though I go around digi-land as "zanthia122" and "Hat of Bunny" as well; I'm a woman of many names. ;) I'm from Hong Kong, though I met my husband in Hawaii and we now live in Utah. We have two little ones, a boy and a girl. I started digi-scrapping when DS was born in 2011, and have been obsessed with it ever since. When I'm not taking care of the kids or the hubby, I'm scrapping. I've also started designing last year, so this hobby takes up pretty much all of my spare time. I can't resist challenges, so I'm super excited about WAS!
 
I'm new to TLP but have been scrapbooking since the 1980's (digi since 2006). I am a wife, mom and grammie to three beautiful little girls. Stopped by as part of Shannon McNab's team (Scotty Girl Design, guesting July 2014) and really like it here!
 
Hi newbies!! it's so so inspiring seeing your galleries!! Looking forward to knowing you ladies better!!

Yay!! Come one, come all!!! Welcome newbies!!!

My name is Natasha...I am engaged to an amazing man who is an amazing father to my 3 kiddos - 2 girls (13 and 9) and 1 boy (11). I have been scrapping since 2000, going digital saved my sanity....from my 3 young kiddos who wouldn't stay out of my papers supplies!! Haha. When I'm not scrapping, I am usually doing something related to sports - I play basketball, soccer and softball, coach basketball and soccer and am a hockey mom.

Have fun...play along with the amazing challenges and enjoy your stay here...we hope it's forever!!!

I'm kind of new and kind of not; I'm Juliette! I'm 31 and I live in a little suburb of Southampton in England with my husband and my cat. On weekdays I work for an engineering firm writing and preparing tender documentation for international roads and infrastructure projects. On weekends and in the evenings: I scrap, I photograph and I read! I scrap a lot... I have a hybrid weekly 6x8 project life album which I truly love, I have a monthly 12x12 album for 'big' stuff and I have an album which I fill with a mix of traditional and pocket pages, made of paper, hybrid or printed digital. I love indulging my techy photoshop side but ending up with something tangible to share :)
 
I am fairly newish. My real name is Erin. I am a work-at-home home-school mom to 3 aged 10, 6, and 18mo. Married for 14 years to the same ole guy. Living for the moment in Chiang Mai Thailand. I have been memory keeping since college and went digi when we moved overseas the first time in 2004. I love all things art related - the messier the better. I play with traditional Scrapping, pockets, whatever. I started digi art journaling in 2011 when I went through a family crisis. I had to take a 2 year hiatus from digi forums in 2012 when my husband was diagnosed with several issues. During that time our youngest 'surprise' was born to add to the mayhem. I am just now getting back into the swing of digi-land and a few months ago decided to stop lurking around The Lily Pad and chime in from time to time instead. SO glad I did because the encouragement you guys give out around here has so helped me through some tough days.
 
hi !

I'm Gaelle, I live in France. I'm not married but I live with my honey since 7 years. we have two little boys (Alexandre 5 years and Maximilien early 21 months). I scrap since 2 years now and I'm addict. Recently I've rejoined Lynne-Marie's team and now I'm addict to the pad !!!!!!!!!!!!
my digi pages are for my kids for their album.
when I don't scrap, I'm teacher in a high scool (students are between 15 and 18 years). I teach electronics
 
Hi all. I'm Kavel. I'm not new around here but I'm not an active member for 1,5 years. So I can count myself as new :) I'm 37 and have a 2 years old baby boy. And if I can find time without my little monster I'm trying to make some scrapbook. I began about 1,5 years ago to scrapbooking. I'm a computer addict and also computer geek (as all of us) and love to travel. I'm living in Kazakhstan/Almaty right now. But I'm from Turkey. We are travelling a lot because of my husband's works. So It's really nice to design something for travel stories.
 
I'm new! I'm Katie and I live in Orlando, FL. I am married to my wonderful husband for 7 years and a stay at home mom to 4 boys, ages 6,4, 20 months, and 6 weeks. I am also going to grad school part-time for English Education. When I'm not chasing around my monkeys, I love photography, reading, and cooking. I am originally from the Boston, MA area and love Boston sports, especially the Red Sox. I have been digi scrapping since 2008. I decided to jump in and try to do all the challenges this month and I'm loving it so far! Looking forward to getting to know you all better!
 
I'm new here!

Ok, not really. 7000 posts I think is more than I have on every other internet forum combined, and I've been online since 1993.

Welcome to all the new folks! Glad to see some new faces!
 
Hi I'm Kelly. I am kind of newish too. I live in Texas for my husband's job but still think I am a California girl. Three kiddos - 12, 13 and 15 = BUSY!!! Hubby travels A LOT and I try to work my scrapping around their schedules. I have been scrapping for 15 years and made the jump to digi about 6 years ago. I am still holding on to all those paper supplies HOWEVER I love my computer :) I'm working on my 3rd year of PL and still love it! I have worked for lots of great designers over the years including Jessica Sprague, 2Ps CT, Becky Higgins, Just Jaimee, Valorie Wibbens, Emily Merritt and Gina Miller. How lucky am I? I love the Lilypad and hope to be a Polly someday!!

Not new or new{ish} but here!

I'm probably one of the oldest here at TLP! Married (just celebrated our 23rd anniversary last week), 5 grown kids doing their own thing (he has 3...I have 2), a ton of grandbabies (there's 6 living here, 1 in Cali, and 1 in Florida), working full-time for a local school district in the technology department, ride on the Harley with the ol' man and a great group of folks (yea...I guess you'd consider me a biker chick), a huntress (deer/hogs), and pretty much an all-around mix of whatever sounds like fun at the moment. Got into scrapbooking when my boys were teenagers and into so many activities......then life went into full-speed with them growing up and having families!

Hi Everyone!
I'm Barbara aka Sokee I started paper scrapping in 2001 and digi 2008. I am married to my best friend for 28 years and we have 6 children 27,25,24,22,19,15 and 3 doggies. I'm a stay at home mom and believes that I have the best job in the world! My first child is getting married this November 1st so we are in full wedding mode here! YES! Love my craft! I still get my fingers dirty now and then with paper but not too often. I'm on my third year of doing a photo a day. First year with my camera. Second using Instagram and now this year I'm using Collect. Now if I could just record all those into a book!!!? Waiting to figure out if I do paper or digital.......................... ha ha maybe after the wedding I will have time to do a project that big!
 
So fun to get to know everyone!! Welcome welcome we are SO glad you are here and call TLP home!!
My name is Jacque Larsen, I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I've been married for 19 years and have four children. Our oldest is leaving for her first year of college and I just can't even believe it!!! I have been a traditional scrapbooker since my oldest was born in 1996. I switched to digital in 2005 and started designing shortly after that. I really thought I get a lot more scrapping done this summer. I hope to squeeze a page or two out before my kids start school but I don't see that very likely happening. Hahahaha
 
Hi, everyone! I'm somewhat new-ish. I was "introduced" to TLP as a GSO blog contributor and ended up spending iNSD here this past Spring and really fell in love with the community, and plan on staying.

I have been married for 28 years (been with my husband for nearly 32 years) and have three grown children (S30, D24 and D20), and three grandchildren (GD8, GS6 and GD4, all from my oldest). I am an RRT and have held my credential for nearly 20 years, I work PT. I went back to school 2 years ago and graduated with my first degree this past December in a field completely unrelated to my respiratory degree. I am still in school and looking to earn 2 BFAs before its all said and done. :)

I have been scrapbooking for about 12 years and went digital purely by "accident" in 2008-ish. I still have nearly ALL of my traditional supplies ... gave a BUNCH to DD this past Spring ... and continue to work in a hybrid format, mainly for projects. I also art journal.

Aside from scrapbooking, I LOVE photography and going out for dinner and to the movies, reading too. :)
